South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
This is my very first star trail attempt. I know there's nothing interesting in the foreground, but I wanted to see how to make star trails with nothing else to contend with initially. For those more experienced with this, please let me know if there are things I should be doing differently or if I'm off on the right foot. I like the results, but if I can improve, that'd be great! 14mm (28mm in 35mm-format), f3.5, 30 seconds, ISO 800, 120 stacked images using StarStaX. I took this with a full moon, and didn't center at any one location in the sky, so it really was a "fly by the seat of your pants" first attempt.

*fine tuned the carton box. Sorry for deleted the previous picture, as there's some error occurred on Flickr.
There was a screw in the bar around the grill, so we took the logical step and turned it into a rock stacking competition.
I came through with a solid win by stacking all of the rocks.
Used for an article about a man who was forced by the courts to give up 5,000 of his books.

The 91-foot (28 m)-tall lighthouse on South Stack was completed in 1809. It provides the first beacon along the northern coast of Anglesey for east-bound ships. It is followed by lighthouses, fog horns.

Down at the banks of the river Danube the city of Passau rises up above you seemingly stacked on different levels. Inevitably the cathedral or Dom sits at the top of the pile.
I remember looking out of the window of our flat and saying to my girlfriend doesn't the sky look weird. it almost looked green then we had the biggest thunder storm of the Summer. this was taken out of the window looking over the A41 with the cars going past. the flooding doesnt really show up in the photo but i've never seen so much rain!
The above photo is roughly about 60 photos stacked on top of each other to create a long exposure effect with surreal looking clouds.
I was going to use this as my 365 the other day, but the other one won.
I really like this one though.
